latest from kentucky at the half seven. for me and the rest of the team, goodbye. good afternoon. there'll still be a lot of dry weather to be enjoyed throughout the rest of the weekend, but there are complications. we've got low pressure close by. this weather front has brought some patchy rain, and now we're seeing some storm development. and we've got a weak weatherfront towards the north—west as well. now those storms will bring the majority of the rainfall throughout the rest of this afternoon and this evening. slow—moving, because there's little wind to move them on. so certainly, the possibility of flooding, and there is a warning out for it. you can find more detail on the website. most likely, though, those storms across the south—west and wales, but also through the central highlands, the south—west of scotland. one or two elsewhere, perhaps, later on across east anglia and the south—east. so those, obviously, will bring the temperatures down. but for most of us, it's another pleasantly warm day,

away from the sea fog, which is around in some eastern areas and around the irish sea coast. and there's more cloud, anyway, in the north—west of scotland today and for northern ireland, and that creeps further in overnight. the storms ease away. the sea fog returns quite widely to central and eastern areas. one or two patches still for the irish sea coast. so a fresher night, i think, and a rather murky start to our sunday morning. but again, that mist and that murk should clear away quite readily. and i think it looks like there'll be a lot of dry and sunny weather for many and fewer showers. probably more cloud, on balance, across scotland, and again, across the west of northern ireland. we start with lots of mist and fog and even some lowland fog elsewhere, which will take a while to clear away. and it mightjust persist for some parts of north—east england and eastern scotland. sea haar and sea fret. but you can see elsewhere, fewer showers. there will be the odd one, particularly as the sun's strong, and we'll get temperatures perhaps a little higher than today across england and wales as a result, still in eastern parts of northern ireland. the central belt a little bit lower than today as well.

same sort of story as we get into monday. the misty, murky weatherfirst thing slow to clear away. just very isolated showers. just a bit of a northerly drift coming in, so temperatures won't be quite so high. but do bear in mind, even if it isn't quite as warm, it's still strong. the sunshine is just as strong. and then as we head towards the middle of next week, well, this low pressure mightjust bring in something more significant wind and rain—wise. but obviously, the devil's going to be in the detail that far away. but it does look as if, at that stage, it will turn more unsettled once again, after today's storms, and a bit windier too.
